BACIU PARTNERS is pleased to announce the continued growth of its Dispute Resolution practice with the addition of Laura Șendroiu as Managing Associate.

Laura brings more than 10 years of experience, including previous roles with law firms such as Reff & Associates (part of Deloitte Legal) and Dragne & Asociații. She has consistently represented prominent multinational corporations, major financial institutions, and leading real estate developers in high-stakes, multi-million-euro mandates covering complex commercial, regulatory, corporate, and real estate litigation, as well as high-volume debt recovery disputes and enforcement proceedings.

In addition to her court activity, Laura is regularly involved in designing case strategy and in negotiating or assisting on pre-litigation matters. Her track record includes managing high-profile disputes involving corporate M&A litigation (shareholder disputes, corporate challenges, dissolutions), as well as civil and commercial lawsuits such as land ownership claims, employment challenges, and insolvency and bankruptcy procedures. Her dispute resolution capabilities are further complemented by experience in IP transactional matters, consumer protection, and administrative litigation.

Reflecting this broad-spectrum expertise, Laura's practice spans across several of the most dynamic sectors in the Romanian business landscape, including retail, real estate, natural resources, banking, and insurance.

"Dispute resolution work is where some of the most cross-cutting issues in a client's business come together, and in my experience, often the ones that got overlooked in a contract, a regulatory filing, an IP project, until they surface in a dispute. I am confident that Laura brings the kind of judgment needed in such a background: strong procedural skills paired with the ability to see a dispute as part of the client's larger business context. This ability is at the core of how we want every client to experience working with us," mentioned Ana-Maria Baciu, Managing Partner, BACIU PARTNERS.

"Our clients trust us with mandates that begin to shape how certain sectors approache similar disputes thanks to the strong technical reputation we built in the industries where we're most active in. What stood out for us is the breadth of Laura's background and the kind of perspective that comes from having worked across that range. This type of thinking, and the professional approach that is based on it, is what we want to keep building into our team," added Irina Văleanu, Counsel and coordinator of the Dispute Resolution practice at BACIU PARTNERS.

A strong 10-member unit, BACIU PARTNERS' Dispute Resolution practice group provides legal representation to major domestic and international corporations, high-profile entrepreneurs and investment funds active in sectors such as retail and consumer goods, technology, automotive, media, entertainment and gambling, pharmaceuticals, industrial production and manufacturing, fashion and luxury goods, utilities, and real estate.
